COLON CANCER SCREENING FORM
Please check only one box below. Please note, if your most recent colon cancer screening test was abnormal, you will
need to complete all recommended follow-up to continue with the medical clearance process.
I have had:
□ Colonoscopy test within 10 years, which required no follow-up testing and I am submitting the results.
□ Fecal Occult Blood test x 3 within one year, which required no follow-up testing and I am submitting the results.
□ Flexible Sigmoidoscopy test within five years; which required no follow-up testing and I am submitting the results.
□ Double Contrast Barium Enema test within five years, which required no follow-up testing and I am submitting the results.
□ Colonography “Virtual Colonoscopy” test within five years, which required no follow-up testing and I am submitting the
results.
□ Stool for DNA testing within one year, which required no follow-up testing and I am submitting the results.

Frequently Asked Question:
My most recent result was abnormal. What do I do?
If your most recent test was abnormal, please meet with your physician and submit a copy of the report and your physician’s
recommendation for follow-up treatment.
After your pre-service nurse reviews the abnormal result, it is possible you will not pass the medical clearance. However, after
you have completed any follow-up testing needed and have received a normal result, you may re-apply for Peace Corps service.
You will need to complete a new application and Health History Form at that time.
